Horace's Gap.--Jefferson Co.

The mud has been recently spread
abroad, and pedestrian has not been
an unmixed pleasure. The dirt roads
have been very deep.
The ground hog certainly failed to
see his shadow to-day; so look out for
weather.
Business is rather dull just now the
only stir being some corn going into
market.
We are pleased with the success of
Our broom-maker; Mr.. B. F. Wageley,
who is turning out the Boss Broom.''
He recently sold sirtees dozen to a sim
gle firm in your city.
We would suggest to Charley Lock,
that he keep an eye open for the 'Gap''
boys when they come over into the
Pine Hills" ostensibly to buy geese.
Charley they are poaching on your
preserves.
Brother "K." be careful how you
write about the Vanclevesville girls,
or / will be tempted to tell how you
and Jimmy Clendening went down
there the first time, and were too BASH
full to enter the house. But / under

The only ground of objection to
the action of those who refused to
caucus for Camden, is the injury to
the acelfare of the Democratic party,
and its being contrary to the estab-
lished (caucus) principles and (gag-
law practices of the same. Every
party paper gets off the same old
whine. The excuse is a poor one,
but better than none at all. With
seli.seeking politicians the welfare
of the party is of greater Importance
than the welfare of the state or of
the people. The true statesman
does not think so, but their number
is few 10 any party. For that reason
let the people vote for men, not for
politicians.

1t is very foolish for the Demo
cratic papers-and there are many
OF them that do ito say that
Matthews was rejected because he
was colored Democrat. Democratic
as we'll as Republican senators voted
against him. They did so because
they recognized the right of the
District of Columbia to home rule.
and Matthews was imported when
there were hundreds of good men in
Washington who are, in every re-
spect, as we'll fitted for the place as
Matthews. The principle in the
case is something of very much
greater Importance than mere par.

The gerrymandering scheme in
the Legislature to re-district the
third, twelfth and thirteenth judicial
districts of this State, throwing a
Democratic county into each one
that adjoins neither, does not meet
with any encouragement. Judge
Armstrong would have to travel
through mineral into Maryland to
reach Preston, and Judge Faulkner
through Hampshire to reach Miner.
al, and the other Judge through
Mineral again to reach Hampshire.
1t is political move, degrading the
Judiciary to the level of politics, and
and we are sure the Circuit Judges
will have nothing to do with it. AS
far as we know this district is con-
venient enough and gives judge
all he can do.

Telephone Prophecy.

The prophet Isaiah, in the fewest pos
sible words, describes the construction of
railroads:
Every valley shall be exalted and
every mountain and hill shall be made
low, and the crooked shall be made
straight and the rough places plain.
And the glory of the Lord shall be re-
vealed, and all flesh shall see it together.
The prophet Habakkuk in the fewest
words possible describes the telephone.
"For the stone shall cry out of the wall,
and the beam out Of the timber shall
answer it. Second chapter, eleventh
verse; fourteenth verse: 'For the earth
shall be filled with the knowledge of the
glory of the Lord. as the waters cover
the sea- Both Of these prophesies are
located in class of dispensational prophe-
cies, easily identification. Hartford

HARD SCRABBLE.

Since sleighing is past and gone and
mud the prevailing element, Hard
Scrabble has been exceedingly dull,
but we will try to give you some news,
if not local in character.
/ have already said that it is muddy,
but I think that this assertion is wor-
thy ofrepetition and will say that it
is Uery muddy. 1t is only those who
come in daily contact with this ele-
ment of nature that can form correct
idea of its extreme worthlessness.
The ice on the Potomac broke away
more than week ago but did very
little damage. A sudden rise in the
river caused it's early departure.
The recent changes of weather have
caused much sickness in our neighbour
hood /; but fortunately, no deaths have
occurred.
The matrimonial wave, which struck
Shepherdstown and vicinity so forci-
blythe early part of the winter is now
at ebb tide and such as were so fortu-
nate as to be launched on the matri-
NAL sea, are enjoying in common de-
gree, the extreme blessedness of mar
ried life.
An effort is being made at Scrabble
to re-organiZe Stake Water Grange,
believing that in union there is
strength. We believe this step in
the right direction; but would sug-
gest that a modification Of the grange
organization would be of more ma
terial advantage to the farmer. claim
that it is the duty. and would be to the
interest of every farmer to join togeth-
er and effect an organization that
would Oyerwhelm monopoly and place
the farmer on equal footing with men
who are tramping him under foot.
The address, published in The HER
AID, some time since, delivered by
DIR. A. J. Lemaster, at Cherry Grove
Grange, we do heartily approve. 1t
set forth clearly facts which are evil
dent to all but his thoughts are not
in accordance with our own with re-
gard to modern inventions. For it is
plain for all to see that the invention
and manufacture of agricultural i'm
plements is of untold value to the
farm, though it has tendency to les
sen the demand farm laborers, it so
cheapens farm products that Iaborers
does not lose by the manufacture of
machinery; while the manufacturers
Ofthese implements give employment
to thousands of laboring men.
The Shepherdstown Register de-
nounces the delegates of Jefferson,
Chew & Lucas in the severest tones
for not going into caucus to elect u. s.
Senator. We can truthfully say that
this is not the first time that Demo-
cratic officials have betrayed the most
sacred trusts of their constituents.
The Literary Social Club, organized
in the early part Of the winter has
been a success in every way. Their
paper called the "joker'' is certainly
well edited. It consists of original
contributions from its active members
and reflects great credit upon those
who worked so hard for it success.
The unfavorable weather has caused
a falling off in the attendance in our
school, but we hope that it will re-
sumo its usual high standard when
the weather becomes more favorable.

GREAT SPEECH :

Gettinger said prohibition did not
prohibit. The talk about the people
OF the State demanding this is a
humbug. To his scrupulous polit-
ical conscience the Democi attic
party is the people.
CHARLESTON, Feb. LIN the
Senate today, test vote on order.
ing to their engrossment the joint
resolutions submitting to a vote OF
the people the question of con-
stitutional amendment prohibiting
the manufacture and sale of intoxi.
eating liGuor within the state devel-
oped the fact that there were only
fifteen votes in its favor, while
eighteen are necessary to make the
requisite two-thirds. The joint res.
olutions passed the House by forty
majority. The liquor element is
rejoicing at the outcome in the
Senate. This is the fifth failure, at
as many sessions, to pass the meas.
ure,
CHARLESTON, Jan. Ex-senator
Scott shows the advantage of his
experience in legislation every day.
OF the nine bills passed by the
Senate so far, three are his, and all
his bills are well advanced on the
calendars of both houses.
In the Senate, when prohibition
was under discussion, Mr.. Scott got
from the opponents the admission
that the Supreme Court of Appeals
would award all brewers and dis.
tillers damages for the ruin of their
investments by the passage of the
amendment and then offered, il
they would allow clause to be
appended providing for compensa-
tion for the property rendered
valueless to withdraw all objection
to the measure. This they refused,
saying such a proviso would defeat
the amendment before the people.
On motion of Mr.. Bowers the
Committee on Railways was instruct
ed to inquire into the expediency of
making it misdemeanor to blow
railroad whistles in incorporated
towns without the consent of the
local authorities. People living
near Wheeling wharf will want this
to include steamboats,.
